## Trump's Midterm Defeat
The Republican Party's defeat in the US midterm elections raises questions about how much room Donald Trump will have to repeat financial support for President Javier Milei.
## Democratic Opposition
Democrats, having secured control of both chambers of Congress, could seek to block similar financial assistance to Argentina in the future.
## US Treasury Support
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated he would repeat a similar financial operation, arguing it was a good deal for the United States.
## Argentina's Energy Trade
Higher oil prices from the conflict with Iran have generated a record trade surplus for Argentina, allowing the Central Bank to purchase us$14 billion.
## 2027 Financial Aid?
Bessent and Milei's Economy Minister Luis Caputo have both argued that similar support could be repeated in 2027.
## Democratic Bills
Democrats introduced bills to block what they branded the 'Milei bailout', including the No Argentina Bailout Act and American Farmers First Act.
## Key takeaway

Democrats could block US financial aid to Argentina after Trump's defeat in US midterms.
